[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 234943, member: 1521"] I know that hitting woodchucks at distance, on a hilly farm in PA, is **** near impossible without minding level. You just cannot easily 'judge' level, and apparently it really is a big factor. I got into a rush my first day hunting last year and missed shots that made me worry about my system. **** chucks had me surrounded! My son noticed that twice I hadn't even flipped the ScopeLevel up, and jabbed at me a bit. I slowed down, back in routine, and took 32 in a row that week. I have not tested it on targets outside of shooting a plumb line at 100 while adjusting elevation(to set the scope & ScopeLevel). I would be interested in your results at distance. By the way, once your scope elevation is plumb, and your level set to reflect this, never take the level off or adjust it again. Make it a permanent part of the scope, and you can move the scope from gun to gun to gun without a bunch of shooting to get it right. The work only has to be done once per scope. [/QUOTE]
